Nutcracker Listening Maps

November 6, 2017

Wow! November came fast! Halloween decorations are packed up and Christmas commercials are already playing on TV. It’s time to start planning some fabulous holiday lessons! And I am so excited about my new resource on my TPT store. I just finished a listening map bundle of some of the greatest hits from The Nutcracker ballet by Peter Tchaikovsky!

The Nutcracker Listening Map Bundle

Nutcracker listening map bundle for elementary music

I love the music from The Nutcracker. Most of the pieces have a simple form that kids can grasp. None of them are too long. And the music is FUN (and iconic to the Christmas season). And each song has a completely different character. Here are the songs that are featured in the listening maps:

March
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
Chinese Dance
Russian Dance
Arabian Dance

I hope you get the chance to enjoy some of these holiday favorites! And check back here for more holiday fun coming soon!
